During 3 days, we will lead a Processing workshop for a small group of designers (6 – 10 people). The workshop will take place at La Chancellerie in Lurs, one of the most beautiful villages in the south of France and caters for people who have little or no knowledge of programming for design. The aim of the workshop, will be to present the basics of the programming langauge, Processing and explore the possibilities of working with generative typography. We also want to encourage participants to play and experiment with new graphic forms and systems, helping them to develop a better understanding of code as a creative tool in the design process. Participants will work on a final day project based on a brief, the results of which will be presented during the week long graphic design, typography and literary festival, Rencontres Internationales de Lure 2011.
